MiHoYo looks very determinate in its fight against players datamining Genshin Impact's files. According to Zeniet , the Chinese publisher recently passed a new milestone by suing Bilibili (Chinese equivalent of YouTube).
By doing so miHoYo is looking to get information on the dataminers that use the plateform on which they share the data they gate from the game's files.
Through this initiative, the company is targeting no less than 11 different leakers. A first hearing will take place on September 17, and could determine whether or not the leakers in question are threats to miHoyo from a commercial point of view.
miHoYo's counterattack against the leakers is not something new and went on with increasingly drastic measures. Before even version 1.5 of Genshin Impact miHoUo had ordered the media not to share dataminated files. The threat had then only been partially heard, since even if many media and content creators had then sided with respect for the work of developers, many "anonymous" dataminers had continued their work without being worried.
Last June, the Chinese publisher went against a leaker,and asked no less than 500,000 yuan (or more than $75,000) to mihoYo as compensation for the damage inflicted on the studio.
miHoyo insists that its hunt for dataminers is far from over, less than a month before the deployment of version 2.2 of the game.
